BMC in disarray?

[auscyclefan94]

Evans comments about Tirreno on BMC website:

"I didn't have the smoothest offseason like I did last year, so there was always the risk that I wasn't going to be at the level I was last year," Evans said. "Looking at it analytically, I'm not riding so poorly as the results would indicate. But there are a lot of people who were riding really well here at a high level of competition. So in the scheme of things I am looking forward to the rest of the season."

Do not worry Evans fans! He will be back.

Who's worrying about him? It's the rest of the team that worries the most.

Let's just wait 'till Gilbert exterminates the field on the Poggio.

It's hard to exterminate from the bus.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's hard to exterminate from the Rabobus.

Fyp

he can always join up with the Rabo's to bridge up back to the peloton

Rabo? Don't know what you're talking about. Are they a cycling team?

Yeah, those tourists in Orange who drop out early and finish in the *** echelon. They seem to be an actual pro team and not tourists!

Hushovd already seems like he is complaining about team leadership before the race has started. He said “It's still me who has the best sprint of us four, and I expect to go for my chance,”. I wouldnt want him to be my teammate if I was a classics rider.

 

[El Pistolero]

Lol, there seems to be Omerta in BMC regarding Phil's shape. Makes me curious.

 

[Panda Claws]

Vanendert did not think Gilbert was good though.

 

[El Pistolero]

Just another part of Phil's master scheme

He even enforced Omerta upon his friends.

 

[Panda Claws]

If that's true, I hope Gilbert acts like this the whole year. Doing nothing before the Ronde again and then winning it and so on...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Maybe he just sucks enormous dragonballz without TB-500

 

[Eric8-A]

OK, so in the CN article, BMC's plan is to have Hushovd there for if it ends in a sprint, and count on Ballan, GVA, and Gilbert to try and win by attacking.

Sounds like their quite confident.

Sounds like their quite confident.

Sounds like they're trying to accommodate 6 leaders in one team....

Maybe he is turning into Stijn Devolder

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Its getting worse ..thor ill for MSR now

+1. Yep. One man a team doth not make, as Evans knows better than anyone.

Just another part of Phil's master scheme

+1 again. Time will tell, but it will be pretty exciting in retrospect if it turns out he really is playing his cards this close to his chest.

And if BMC continues like this - not saying they will! - it just makes you want to grab them by the collar, shake vigorously, and ask, WTF is wrong with you guys?!

 

[Panda Claws]

I am looking forward to the BMC press conference today. It will be interesting to hear what Gilbert has to say.

[Zam_Olyas]

When is the presser for BMC?

Thor would have likely been marked and neutralized anyway and I don't see him being some of the other guys in a heads up sprint. He'll just move on and focus on P-R now anwyay.
